Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 10 whole mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Slice them into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces, removing the pits.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined.
Pour the honey-vanilla mixture over the sliced peaches and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
Chop the mint leaves finely, reserving a few whole leaves for garnish. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the peaches and toss lightly.
If using slivered almonds, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly, then sprinkle over the salad.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Garnish with the reserved whole mint leaves.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving for a chilled option. Enjoy!
